Iron horse…power!

Edy — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 23:37:11 +0000

Another thing that Aussies are good at is… casual clothing! And if it’s related to stylish two wheels, then it’s one of my favourite. Iron Horse Clothing is a new Australian brand with a small range of organic cotton T-shirts with very trendy designs.

Brodie is a cool guy and a serial marketeer, go on his blog and read the post on how he managed to have world-wide famous Dj Richie Hawtin wear his brand. I hope he will hit the high street soon, for now if you want his cool tees, just add a flat $10 on the order and he will send them straight to your door, no matter where you live! Bargain.

Foamy Boey: Art on cups

Edy — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:46:49 +0000

I’ve been busy looking for cool coffee related items. I couldn’t resist to show you this amazing piece of art. A felt-tip marker, a styrofoam cup, patience. This is the work of Boey a Malaysian illustrator, now living in New Port Beach. I can look at them for hours while listening to my music, trying to understand the story behind them, and sure there’s always a story to tell.

The girls at Studio M in Barcelona have just gained a new award with their wonderful concept for I-Drink in Oviedo. After the worldwide success of Happy Pills, they are back with some clever design: mobile bar, modular seats, lamps, dishes, waiters, facade, they applied their magic to every single detail ! Thanks Marion!

Got Milk?

It’s the best desk out there, it has all you want: from cable management to gold fish tank! Of course it’s pricey, but think about it: you spend as much time at your desk then you do in your bed ! It’s gonna be worth it!

Etch your books…

Most of us owns a Moleskine, a few of us has a etched one. I love this laser engraving or etching technique. You can precisely engrave most of the objects you own. Here is a small selection of what I like. Cool?! See my next post for another kind of etching… See more here:

Style your skin

I’m researching on films that can decorate your gadgets without interfering with the functionality of trackpad or touchscreen. This company does the job: you can choose from an existing library of designs or simply upload your own. You’ll be able to create a personalised sticker perfectly cut to fit the wrist rest of your Macbook or just the trackpad. You won’t need professional skills to apply it. See more here:

Replenish your fluids

Thanks to an old friend of mine Salyawate Prasertwitayakarn, the MD of Atelier of Architects based in Bankok, I’m excited to show you a sneak preview of an amazing project.
It’s the headquarters for Body Glove Thailand based around the slogan “protect the core”. It features a showroom, office space and warehouse. The design comes from the idea of fluidity, continuity, futurist due to the extreme contrast between the interior and exterior.

Flat packed curves

Unto This Last is the title of a book written in 1860 by John Ruskin. He advocated a return to the local craftsman workshops, having a few doubts about the human cost of the Industrial Revolution. It’s also the name of a workshop that produce beautiful pieces of furniture using only plywood and no mechanical accessory using a digital router. Their products are dispatched in London without boxes to cut down costs and pollution. They are easy to assemble, affordable, and beautiful.

I suggest you to go visit their amazing workshop in Brick Lane, East London. Or just enquire online here:
